Thief gets four years, six months

Burglar and thief Ruben Jordan is not having a good June.

First he tried to rob a shop by pretending to have a gun, only to have his escape foiled when he crashed into a car.

Then he was sentenced to four years and six months for two offences when he appeared in the Bridgetown Traffic Court on June 19.

Jordan, 29, of Stuart Land, Bush Hall, St Michael, had just pleaded guilty to entering Doreen’s Shop, on June 16, and stealing $27 belonging to Doreen Prosper.

He also confessed to stealing two bicycles, of total value $800, which belonged to Daniel David Howell, sometime between June 14 and 15. (HLE)
